Dr. Allyson Shrikande is a physiatrist — an expert in physical rehabilitation — at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She said that there are also non-drug options for treating pain.
“Strengthening exercises have been shown to decrease pain in knee osteoarthritis,” Shrikande noted. “Physicians often prescribe Tylenol or other oral medications as first-line treatment, but perhaps an individually tailored physical therapy program should be tried prior to the use of Tylenol or other oral pain medications.”
